    3. $45,000 High School at Hickory The school directors of Mount Pleasant township this week will let the contract for a modern high school building that will be the equal of any structure in any of the boroughs of the county, and much in advance of any school building in any of the townships. The bids were received some days ago, and it is expected that everything will be in readiness to let the contract. The plans have been approved by the State Board of Education. The new building will be built of buff brick on a two-acre plot of ground procured from J. M. K. DONALDSON. It will be two stories and basement, and will contain eight large class rooms, library, well equipped gymnasium, and an auditorium 72x107 feet. Toilet rooms will also be fitted up in the basement. Everything about the building will be of the best and most modern. A complete heating system will be installed. It is expected that the structure will cost in the neighborhood of $45,000. The school board is making provisions for the teaching of agriculture in the schools. The new structure will be built in the village of Hickory, and will take the place of the present small structure now used for high school purposes, and which has long been too small for the needs of the township. The size of the building will be 80x115 feet.
